Today we’re taking a break from all the Christmas celebrations to discuss an odd group of friends, a strange pole and a ‘show about nothing.’ And by now, all you Seinfeld fans are smiling. It’s been 15 years since the TV series left the air but it’s still very much around in syndication, popular culture…
Sandwiches
Nana’s Pimento Cheese and Ham Biscuits
The ham we had for Thanksgiving was so tasty there wasn’t much left – just enough for 1 night of leftovers and then just a tad. I almost threw it out but I decided to throw it in the food processor and mince it up for 2 different recipes. I was inspired to make this…
30 Minute Pretzel Buns
Have you been seeing all the great burgers and hot dogs at restaurants using pretzel buns? So have I. I wanted to make some at home and I even found a recipe for it from a new blogger friend’s blog but as you know, I’m still practicing making bread and most things are a little…
Tex-Mex French Bread Bierock
Sometimes I make mistakes and then I try to improvise. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not work and this time? Oh – it MORE than worked, it rocked! This morning I roasted Hatch Green Chiles and had in mind to make sort of Tex-Mex French Bread Bierock. Whatever – it is fantastic and…

Ham Salad 2 Ways
I had some leftover ham that I needed to use up and while I did not have enough to make a ham loaf (which I LOVE) I certainly had enough to make ham salad. I have not had that in a very long time so I made some up and that was our Sunday lunch…
Ranch Roast
Saturday, I got a big roast cut it in half and froze half then I was going to make Italian beef sandwiches. I opened the cabinets and of course I didn’t have several of the ingredients I needed so I decided to just make it up – luckily for me it turned out great! I…
Bakin’ Bacon
Do you bake your bacon? I have been for years and it is so much better than putting up with the bacon smell in your clothes, hair and house for hours and hours! I saw a recipe from The Better Baker blog recently where she too baked her bacon but she used a little different…
It’s National Grilled Cheese Day!
Did you know that April 12th is National Grilled Cheese Day? And April is Grilled Cheese month. My daughter is the best grilled cheese artist – there is no one better in my book, except one. This is a story about the time dad and I were batchin’ it. As I was thinking about a…
